Seminole County, Administrative county in Oklahoma, United States
Seminole County is an administrative division in southeastern Oklahoma located between the North Canadian River and the Canadian River. The territory consists of flatter areas mixed with gentle hills, home to small towns and rural communities.
The area became a county in 1907 when Oklahoma became a state, after previously serving as a reservation for the Seminole Nation. This change marked the transition from territorial status to inclusion within the new state structure.
The Seminole Nation Museum displays artifacts and exhibitions that tell the story of the Native American community and their roots in this region. Visitors can see objects and learn about the traditions that have shaped life here over time.
Wewoka serves as the county seat and main hub for government services and local information. This is where to find offices and answers to questions about the region.
A major oil field was discovered here in 1926, which became an important part of the regional economy for decades. Signs of this industrial past remain visible in the landscape today.
